WASHINGTON – Do you like hymns?

Do you love them?

Do you not only like to sing them, but know the stories behind them?

Just out is the third in a series of books titled “Then Sings My Soul” by Robert Morgan. So popular was his first book of the same name, his publisher asked him to write a second book and a third book of the same name – covering virtually all of the classic hymns you’ve ever known

Maybe you already own books 1 and 2. If so, you’ll definitely want to pick up Morgan’s book 3.

Then there’s another very newsworthy book just out: “Spreading the Wealth: How Obama is Robbing the Suburbs to Pay for the Cities” by Stanley Kurtz. When Barack Obama told “Joe the Plumber” that he wanted to “spread the wealth around,” he wasn’t just using a figure of speech. Since the 2008 campaign, Stanley Kurtz has established himself as one of Barack Obama’s most effective and well-informed critics. Now Kurtz reveals new evidence that the administration’s talk about helping the middle class is essentially a smoke screen. Behind the scenes, plans are under way for a serious push toward wealth redistribution, with the suburban middle class – not the so-called one percent – bearing the brunt of it. Why haven’t we heard more about policies that will lead to redistribution? In part, of course, because controversies over Obamacare, unemployment, and the exploding budget deficit have taken the media spotlight. But the main reason, according to Kurtz, is that Obama doesn’t want to tip his hand about his second term. He knows that his plans will alienate the moderate swing voters who hold the key to his reelection. Drawing on previously overlooked sources, Kurtz cuts through that smoke screen to reveal what’s really going on. Radicals from outside the administration – including key Obama allies from his early community organizing days – have been quietly influencing policy, in areas ranging from education to stimulus spending. Their goal: to increase the influence of America’s cities over their suburban neighbors so that eventually suburban independence will vanish. In the eyes of Obama’s former mentors – followers of leftist radical Saul Alinsky – suburbs are breeding grounds for bigotry and greed. The classic American dream of a suburban house and high quality, locally controlled schools strikes them as selfishness, a waste of resources that should be redirected to the urban poor. The regulatory groundwork laid so far is just a prelude to what’s to come: substantial redistribution of tax dollars. Over time, cities would effectively swallow up their surrounding municipalities, with merged school districts and forced redistribution of public spending killing the appeal of the suburbs. The result would be a profound transformation of American society. Kurtz shows the unbroken line of continuity from Obama’s community organizing roots to his presidency. And he reveals why his plan to undermine the suburbs means so much to him personally.

This last title is the perfect complement to Aaron Klein’s latest blockbuster “Fool Me Twice: Obama’s Shocking Plans for the Next Four Years Exposed,” which likewise looks at what Obama would do should he be re-elected. It’s not guesswork – it’s investigative reporting.
